 Installation of AC Mains Monitor

Basic Installation Steps

Carry out these steps to install the AC  Mains Monitor CAN bus node in your DC
power system.
Power is ON!

1. Assign the AC Mains Monitor’s CAN bus address, by

setting the AC Mains Monitor’s DIP switches. Read chapter “CAN Bus
Addressing” on page 17
2. Connect the node to the CAN bus, by
e.g. using a CAN bus cable and moving the CAN bus termination plug
from the controller to the last connected AC Mains Monitor or node.
Read chapter “CAN Bus Termination” on page 16
3. Attach the AC Mains Monitor to a suitable surface inside the cabinet;
Read chapter “Fastening the AC Mains Monitor” on page 11
4. Switch OFF the power system’s AC mains supply internal and external
fuses. Ensure that the power system’s battery bank may supply the
load
5. Thread the power system’s AC mains input cable L1 through a suitable
current transducer, e.g. the LEM HAL 100-S, and strap or fasten the
transducer to the cable.
Notice:
If the signal from the current sensor is too small (e.g. lower than
1Vp‑p), you can increase the signal strength by threading the AC cable
several times through the current sensor (if the sensor’s opening is big
enough).
The signal voltage output will be double for 2 turns, triple for 3 turns,
etc. This must be considered during the configuration, in step 9.

Repeat this step for cable L2 and L3, if applicable.

Read chapter “Connection Drawing” on page 12
6. Connect, for each current transducer, the four current sense wires be-
tween each transducer and the AC Mains Monitor’s Current Sense
pluggable screw terminals; Plug the terminals.
Read chapter “Connection Drawing” on page 12

CAN Bus Termination

To ensure a correct bus communication and avoid data reflection, you must always
terminate the CAN bus with two 120Ω resistors, one at each end of the line (60Ω
bus impedance).
Eltek’s power systems are shipped from factory with the CAN bus already termi-
nated with 120Ω resistors. The CAN bus termination is implemented with a special
RJ45 plug with built-in 120Ω end-of-line resistor.

Configuration
When the AC Mains Monitor CAN bus node is purchased with the power system, the
monitor is always installed, configured and calibrated in factory, and needs no fur-
ther configuration.
When connecting an AC Mains Monitor to the CAN bus of already shipped DC power
systems, you have to configure it by carrying out the following:
1. Setting the DIP switches with the correct CAN bus address,
to assign a unique ID number to the AC Mains Monitor, read chapter
“CAN Bus Addressing” on page 17
2. Configuring and calibrating the AC Mains Monitor’s operation,
using a computer with the PowerSuite application version 3.3 or higher.
You must configure and calibrate the AC Mains Monitor to work with
the connected current transducers. Read chapter “Configuration in
PowerSuite” on page 18

CAN Bus Addressing

The power system’s controller dynamically software-assigns ID numbers to recti-
fiers. The controller registers the rectifiers’ ID numbers — or CAN bus address (01,
02…) — together with their Serial Numbers (software assignment).
Other control units make use of DIP switches for configuring their unique CAN bus
ID number (hardware assignment). The ID numbers (97, 98…110) are dedicated to
AC Mains Monitor nodes, and they are assigned by DIP switches on the nodes’ side.
A maximum of 14 AC Mains Monitor nodes may be connected to the CAN bus.

Configuration in PowerSuite
To activate, configure and calibrate the AC Mains Monitor’s specific settings, use
the PowerSuite application. For example, using PowerSuite you connect to the
power system’s controller, either via an Ethernet connection or via USB port, if ac-
cessible.
In general, the connected AC  Mains Monitor node(s) are displayed in the Power-
Suite’s Power Explorer pane, under the Mains node (1) and under the Control Sys-
tem node (1b), see Figure 9 on page 18.

Figure 9. Example of configuration in PowerSuite of AC Mains Monitor’s voltage sense

inputs
For configuring the AC Mains Monitor’s Voltage Sense inputs:
A. Double-click on the “Mains Mon X” icon under the Mains node (1)
B. In the Monitor View tab, click on the alarm monitor links (3) “Mains-
Volt 1.1”, “MainsVolt 1.2”, “MainsVolt 1.3” and “Frequency 1”, one at a
time, then configure and calibrate them.
In short: Enable the input (4), change the description (5), select the
input activation type (or event or system internal action), the alarm

Figure 10. Example of configuration in PowerSuite of AC Mains Monitor’s current sense

inputs
For configuring the AC Mains Monitor’s Current Sense inputs:
A. Double-click on the “Mains Mon 1” icon under the Mains node (1)
B. Click on the Currents View tab (2), then click on the alarm monitor links (3)
“MainsCurr 1.1”, “MainsCurr 1.2”, “MainsCurr 1.3” and “TotMainsCurr 1”,
one at a time, then configure, calibrate and scale them;
In short: Enable the input (4), change the description (5), select the
input activation type (event or system internal action), the alarm out-
put group (or relays to activate) (6), the high calibration point (e.g.
100A phase current (7)), the sensor rating scale (e.g. 5V and 100A max.
(8)), etc.

Notice:
If you have increased the sensor’s signal strength by threading the AC
351508.033, 1v1-2015-06

cable several times through the current sensor, the signal voltage
output will be double for 2 turns, triple for 3 turns, etc.

Installation Guide • AC Mains Monitor
Installation of AC Mains Monitor

For example, if the sensor’s nominal current is In=100A, its signal out-
put is 5Vp-p at nominal current and you have threaded the cable 2
turns through the sensor, then you must enter 10 in the “Scale type
[V]:” field and 100 in the “Max size [A]:” field (8)

The “TotMainsCurr nn” alarm monitor (9) does not really measure the
AC current, but generates alarms based on the addition of the current
measurements performed by the individual “MainsCurr X.X” alarm
monitors (3).
